Post by: Capt. Carl on January 09, 2013, 03:51:21 PM: 1 report says they hit dack a...then travelled into dock b....who the hell knows....bad day for sea streak tho.
Depending who it was, i may know the Captain and he is very good if it turns out to be him....but who knows what the heck went wrong.
